Wallpaper Love

If your walls have been lacking personality then don’t let them scream in neglected heartbreak for any longer.

Wallpaper has come a long way since it was first invented many moons ago. With technology changing how we make things, the design and manufacture of wallpapers has led to a plethora of different wall coverings made using long lasting papers and dyes. And the dreaded application and removal of the stuff has been tamed and is much simpler.

As these new materials have evolved, so have our tastes, which means we can celebrate our love of wallpaper by gracing our walls using any one of the hundreds of stunning wall coverings.

While painted walls can appear flat, wallpaper is great for adding a textural element and creates a room with a presence.

You will find everything on the market from metallic, embossed and screen print, to vinyl, fabric-backed and self-adhesive wallpaper coverings. Many have a realistic feel designs such as wood panelling and brick wall designs. Contemporary geometric, herringbone patterns have been in full force in the last couple of years aswell.

Some genius even created washable wallpapers, so they can be wiped down with a damp, clean cloth. Talk about child-friendly.

The idea of wallpaper doesn’t necessarily mean they’re destined for walls either; some people even apply it to furniture pieces. Go on, give it a go!
